The electronic compass uses the Earth’s magnetic field to
determine direction. The direction readings produced by the
electronic compass can be different from actual compass
readings due to environment and temperature conditions.
Direction readings taken in any of the following locations may
result in very inaccurate readings.
Near buildings (especially ferro-concrete structures), large
metal objects (trains, motor vehicles, etc.), high-voltage power
lines, or overhead wires
Near metal objects (desks, lockers, etc.), household appliances
(TVs, computers, speakers, etc.), or permanent magnets
(magnetic necklaces, etc.)
If you suspect a reading error, move away from the above
locations and try again.
